Community High School District 155 accepts student teachers and/or interns every semester. In District 155, our mission is to help all students and staff "Enter with Promise. Leave with Purpose." We strive to inspire a passion for lifelong learning, empower staff and students to reach their highest potential, and nurture an inclusive, supportive environment where each individual can thrive.

District 155 reaches out to all school Division Leaders twice a year to determine if they are interested in hosting a student teacher or intern.

If you are interested in applying, there is required paperwork:

Placement request from University;
Resume;
2-3 references (contact information required only);
Cover letter/letter of interest (preferred, but not required);
Unofficial transcript;
DCFS Mandated Reporter (click here for training) - certificate of completion needed.

*If you are a District 155 grad, you will not be placed at your graduating school*

D155 receives a large number of requests each year. With this in mind, candidates should be in good academic standing with their university, have a solid academic background, and have strong grades in their specific content area.

Observation hours are scheduled directly through the Principal and/or the Division Leader. The student teacher/intern will always be supervised.

For more details about the required paperwork or the student teaching/internship program, please contact Lori Ratliff, Director of Teaching & Learning, Curriculum & Pathways (lratliff@d155.org).
